Game Changer tells the remarkable story of Gian Singh Virdi, who after emigrating to England in 1962, played international hockey, experienced the shocking events of the 1972 Munich Olympics and became Yorkshire County Cricket Club’s first non-white coach in 1989. He was part of the effort to bring Sachin Tendulkar to Yorkshire, breaking the County Cricket Club’s longstanding selection criteria.
Decades later and now 80 years old, Gian embraces his final challenge – to inspire a small, village cricket club on the brink of folding to challenge for league and cup success.
